2014/2/11: Wii U: Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

Once again, I can't believe how Nintendo managed to F this one up.

Thanks for the timely review on this one.  Not only are the Games going on, but its also the game Gamestop is using as a demo.  In that sense, its the face of the console at the moment.  We played several games where you just have to tilt to maneuver on the slopes, and it worked fine even for a younger child to understand. It was obvious that the gamepad is oversized for kids to use, but that they do like to look at the gamepad screen. We even had a hard time getting a single player to not be Sonic, and I notice your screen shot is also Sonic.   

Did you say curling was the highlight of the game?   I think that is damning with faint praise.

I guess this is the equivalent of a movie tie-in game, where they just quickly slap something together while the timing is good.  What a shame it does not even look like the Sochi.   Could've at least had Putin and his girlfriend in the stands....

Given the controversy that the Olympics themselves are drawing this year, it's somehow fitting that this game is a piece of crap.

Thanks for the review. I've never liked this series and it seems like Nintendo and Sega have been making this worst each edition.
